A Long Time Ago ... I became a Star Wars fan. My love for Star Wars was born when my father took me and my brother to see the original movie at the Regent Theatre in my home town, Great Yarmouth, in January 1978. I was 7 years-old. Needless to say, it made quite an impact on me. To celebrate The Force Awakens, I have created a 100-day countdown to its release. Using images from my collection, I will share my favorite memories of 35+ years of being a fan and collector of all things Star Wars.

79 days to go: A Jedi does not seek revenge
One of the things I love as a Star Wars collector is being at a collector fair and finding a gem of an item for a crazy low price. It doesn’t happen all that often, which makes it all the more special when it does. I recently found this rare ‘Revenge of the Jedi’ promotional pull-out from Variety magazine for only $1. For those that don’t know, 'Return of the Jedi' was originally going to be called ‘Revenge of the Jedi’ until George Lucas concluded that it is not a Jedi trait to seek revenge. A very small amount of items were created with the ‘Revenge’ title on before this change of heart.
